Storage container

A storage container comprising a container housing provided with at least one reception compartment open at a compartment opening on a front side of the container housing and with a drawer element arranged in the reception compartment in a manner allowing its pulling-out of and its pushing into the reception compartment in a longitudinal direction of the container housing, wherein the drawer element, in order to form a drawer interior, has a base wall and an outer wall projecting upwards from the base wall and having two lateral outer wall sections located opposite each other at a distance in a transverse direction —perpendicular to the longitudinal direction —of the container housing, and further comprising pull-out limiting means for limiting the pulling-out of the drawer element from the reception compartment, and

• wherein the pull-out limiting means comprise a stop tongue at each of the two lateral outer wall sections of the drawer element, which can be pivoted by elastic deformation in the transverse direction of the container housing, and which has at least one stop projection projecting in the transverse direction away from the drawer interior towards the outside, and
• wherein, at the container housing, there is provided in each of the two lateral edge regions of the compartment opening a counter-stop edge located in the pull-out path of one of the stop projections, against which counter-stop edge the associated stop projection can run while the drawer element is pulled out in order to pre-set the maximum pulled-out operating position, wherein the stop tongues by the application of manual force are reversibly pivotable inwards towards the drawer interior into a release position in order to allow the complete removal of the drawer element from the reception compartment, and
• wherein the stop projections are designed to be barb-shaped at their rear side oriented in the pull-out direction of the drawer element and therefore have an inclined stop face at the rear, the counter-stop edges having correspondingly inclined counter-stop faces, so that the stop projections are hooked to the counter-stop edges in the maximum pulled-out operating position of the drawer element.

• wherein the stop projections have, on their front side oriented in the push-in direction of the drawer element, an inclined sliding surface, which increasingly diverges from the drawer interior in the pull-out direction of the drawer element and which can slide on a counter-stop body which is stationary relative to the container housing while the pulled-out drawer element is inserted into the reception compartment, whereby the associated stop tongue can be pivoted reversibly inwards towards the drawer interior into a release position without any direct application of manual force until the stop projection has passed the counter-stop edge.

• wherein the stop tongues are placed at the lateral outer wall sections in such a way that they come to lie outside the reception compartment with a section of their length in the maximum pulled-out operating position of the drawer element,
• wherein each of the stop tongues has a support arm, which supports the stop projection and is joined in one piece and in an elastically flexible manner to the associated lateral outer wall section of the drawer element in a transition region located at a distance from the stop projection,
• wherein the stop tongue extends from the transition region in the push-in direction of the drawer element.
